Naturally, as a huge Monkees fan, I've had a very depressing week with the death of Davy Jones. He wasn't my favorite, but I love all the 'boys' in my own way and it was so sudden and unexpected that it blindsided me. I've seen the tributes, watched the interviews on tv with Micky and Peter, read Mike's beautiful FB tribute and I read all the ( Read more... )

It turns out that if you're friends with someone, it means that you are taking their side. Never mind that the arguement/situation/whatever it is has nothing to do with you ( Read more... )

Look, I can understant (to a point) wanting to stop piracy of music/movies online. It's the electronic equivalent of trying to stop the sale of bootleg CDs and DVDs. It's impossible to enforce but I can understand the legal principle behind it.

We had a perfectly good and intense rivalry with Philadelphia before this ( Read more... )

Today was great for many reasons, but disappointing at the same time. I did some more XMas baking and now have 3 different batches of cookies done, plus a batch of snack mix. All I need is to do my gingerbread men and I'm done. Shopping has been done for a while (didn't buy much this year) except Sky's stocking stuffers and some slippers he saw ( Read more... )

Just watched the first episode. Very impressive, as far as production goes: it's amazing what they put together in a short time and how great it worked in terms of flow and feel. I was skeptical at first. I don't think much of 'reality'-type shows and was afraid that it would come off as cheesy and slapdash. But I have to say that this looks like a ( Read more... )

I've got so many projects and possibilities floating around in the ether right now: it's been a while since that's happened and it's both exciting and nerve-wracking ( Read more... )
